Beginning in 1947, he served as a presiding judge for the Einsatzgruppen trial in US military court at Nuremberg. The Einsatzgruppen trial (officially, The United States of America vs. Otto Ohlendorf, et al.) was the ninth of the twelve trials for war crimes the US authorities held in their occupation zone in Germany in Nuremberg after the end of World War II.

The twelve US trials are collectively known as the “Subsequent Nuremberg trials” or, more formally, as the “Trials of War Criminals before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals” (NMT). ������������������������������������������������������������ Est. $70-140
